Yasuo vs Sett

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yasuo must use his high mobility with (Q) and (E) to control space and avoid Sett's close-range brawls.
Prioritize denying Sett's melee trades by maintaining medium lane pressure and preventing him from stacking grit effectively.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) quickly and dash through minions to create mobility and space for knockup setups.
Use (W) to block (Q) empowered autos or (W) true damage center when timed well.
Punish Sett after he misses (E) or uses (W) by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun and pull when near minions, as it can lead to lethal trades.
Avoid extended trades when Sett has built grit and can use (W) shield and true damage center.
Be cautious post-level 6 when Sett can reposition you with (R), especially if (W) and passive shield are down.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike to trade aggressively with (Q) and (E) when Sett has no grit or (W) shield.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down to prevent Sett from capitalizing on his grit mechanics.
Keep fighting near minions to maximize (E) mobility and avoid (E) stun angles.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) plus (E) mobility enables Yasuo to engage or disengage trades effectively; use this to force Sett off the wave.
Level 6 (R) grants Yasuo kill pressure on airborne targets; track Sett's positioning to confirm knockup opportunities.
After first item completion, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while respecting Sett's bruiser item power spike.

Win conditions

Use (Q) and (E) to maintain mobility and control space, denying Sett melee range and grit stacking.
Exploit Sett's vulnerability after missed (E) or spent (W) by forcing short trades and wave control.
Leverage level 6 (R) with knockup setups to secure kills or force Sett out of lane, snowballing the matchup.
